Surprise Marriage to a Billionaire
Chapter 116: Good Taste

Chapter 116: Good Taste

Rain had never encountered anyone as petty and spiteful as Dina. The sight before her was a testament to her half-sister’s childishness. Her bedroom cabinet’s inside doors were filled with hateful graffiti like "slut," "die," and worse. Her remaining clothes were also torn to shreds.

"Did you like my surprise?" Dina’s voice cut through the air, causing Rain to close her eyes momentarily in irritation. When she reopened them, she turned around and met Dina’s gaze with a wry, almost pitying smile. "I do wonder why you’re so full of insecurities."

Dina’s face flushed with fury. Without warning, she lunged at Rain, but Rain sidestepped with practiced ease, causing Dina to crash to the floor.

Enraged, Dina scrambled to grab nearby objects, throwing them at her. Rain ducked and dodged, catching a few items with her free hand in mid-air as she moved back toward the opened door, her calm demeanour contrasting sharply with Dina’s explosive anger.

"Grow up, Dina! You’re not a child anymore. Aren’t you supposed to be preparing for your wedding?" Rain said coolly, her voice carrying a hint of disdain.

Dina got back up to her feet, her eyes blazing with rage. "Right! I’m going to marry the love of your life! I stole Paul from you!" she spat her expression a mix of pride and malice.

Rain’s smile widened, her eyes gleaming with a mix of amusement and contempt. "And again, thank you for that, Dina!" She relished in the satisfaction of seeing her sister’s face twist in anger. "The only thing I could thank you for is taking out the trash. Paul was never worth keeping."

Dina’s face darkened with frustration. "I know you’re hurting inside, bitch, even though you’re trying to play it cool. Paul was a good catch, but he cheated on you. So what if your new husband is handsome? He’s still a nobody!"

Rain’s laughter erupted uncontrollably, filling the room with a harsh, victorious sound. Dina’s face reddened with rage, unable to penetrate Rain’s impenetrable composure.

"Admit it—my husband is far better looking than Paul, isn’t he?" she taunted.

Rain’s smirk deepened, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Paul is nothing compared to my husband in every way that matters. Looks, brains, power... particularly in bed." She let the last words linger, watching the anger flare in Dina’s eyes. "He always makes me scream his name in pleasure. I’m constantly pampered and satisfied because he knows how to treat me right."

Dina’s face contorted in fury, clearly showing that Rain had struck a nerve. Her voice was soft but cutting as she continued, "If I could go back in time and choose between them again, I’d pick my husband without a second thought. Every. Single. Time."

She paused, enjoying the way Dina’s face reddened with rage. "So stop wasting your energy feeling insecure over Paul and I hope your future with Paul is as perfect as you imagine it to be," Rain added, her tone laced with finality before she turned and exited the room swiftly.

Just as she reached to close the door, she heard the sound of something heavy crashing behind her. "She started it, so I’m just giving her a fitting end," Rain smirked. But her triumphant smile faltered when she came face-to-face with Alexander, who stood in the hallway with an expression of cold amusement.

"You heard all of that?" Rain whispered, her face paling when Alexander nodded.

"Loud and clear," Alexander replied with a playful smirk. "I didn’t realize I was *that* good. Now I’m getting curious—"

Before he could finish, Rain quickly covered his lips with her hand. "Stop it! I was just trying to annoy her. Don’t tease me!" she scolded, her face flushing with embarrassment. There was no way she would let him tease her further.

"Why are you here anyway?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. It was hard to believe his father had let him slip away so easily.

"I told them I needed to use the restroom," Alexander responded, making her frown.

"But there’s one downstairs," Rain pointed out.

"I know, but I saw your sister following you. I thought she might try something..." Alexander trailed off, seemingly struggling to finish his sentence.

Rain’s eyes lit up as she finished it for him, "So you got worried and followed me, right?"

Before he could respond, they were both startled by Dina’s enraged scream from down the hall. "I’ll kill you, bitch!"

Without missing a beat, Rain grabbed Alexander’s hand and pulled him away, heading toward Aunt Melanie’s bedroom.

"Your sister is insane," Alexander muttered as they hurried along.

"Well, I couldn’t agree more," Rain shrugged, stopping as they reached the door to her aunt’s room. Her jaw clenched at the sight of the lock outside.

"These monsters," she growled, quickly unlocking the door. She glanced at Alexander and said, "Watch the door. Dina might try to lock us all in here."

Alexander nodded, leaning against the doorframe, while Rain entered the room.

"Rain! Is that you?" Aunt Melanie’s voice trembled with emotion as she rushed to embrace her niece.

"Yes, it’s me, Aunt. I’m so sorry it took me this long to visit you," Rain murmured, her voice thick with emotion as she fought back tears.

"It’s alright, Rain. You’re here now, and that’s all that matters," Aunt Melanie said softly, holding her tightly. "Honestly, I’d rather not see you if it means you’re safe, far away from your father and those two witches."

Aunt Melanie’s gaze shifted to the door, where Alexander stood watchfully. "And is he...?"

Rain smiled, glancing back at him. "Yes, Aunt. This is Alexander."

Rain smiled warmly as she gently pulled her Aunt Melanie over to where Alexander stood, formally introducing them. "Aunt, this is my husband, Alexander Lancaster. But to Father, Sylvia, and Dina, he’s known as Lex Lancaster," she said with a smirk, hinting at the facade she’d maintained.

Aunt Melanie smiled, looking Alexander up and down with amusement. "It’s nice to finally meet you. My niece has good taste—so handsome! But I hope you’re as beautiful on the inside as you are outside," she teased, though Rain knew her aunt’s words carried sincerity beneath the jest.
